Gee he would be a handy pick up. We’re talking with him. 

 

He went to town against us a couple of weeks ago including 11 tackles and 18 contested possessions and is still only 23. Would be a great get for us. 

Definitely less of a queue for him at the Dees compared to GWS, think St Kilda also sniffing about

 

Peatling is exactly the type of player we should have been pursuing over the past 3 years. Instead Lamb goes after 27yo unwanted players who's best was past them.

Only seen him a few times.  But it’s a Yes from me.  He bought Giants back into contest v Lions.  Won 4 of 5 centre clearances.  Has the pace and skill and intensity to really make a difference.  Disposal efficiency high.  Tackling is a strength.   Interested to see if we could put a 4 year deal on offer.

🎯

Has all the hallmarks of a future whipping boy but can do enough as a half back or half forward to fill a role and does his best as a tagger.

And all signs point to us having at least 1 if not 2 or 3 midfield/defensive half forward players.

Sorry meant he's stuck a bit low in the pecking order at GWS and wouldn't have that queue here. So we'd be able to offer regular first team footy etc

We had no need for Peatling in 22 or 23. Certainly did this year with JJ and Gus going out.

Definitely agree that we should’ve aimed for younger and higher upside recruits the last few years. Although they would’ve been dice roll types like Oleg Markov types not sure things.

We can now offer cash, picks and importantly best 22 opportunities.

I was referring to your 2nd paragraph, rather than specifically Peatling.

Smashed us a few weeks ago and loved his inside.

Stoked to hear we're talking to him.

Any idea which way it could lead to?

Appreciate the insight, cheers. 


Cal on Gettable said plenty of interest in him, named St Kilda, Melbourne & West Coast. GWS have upped their offer.

He is in my Supercoach draft team, so have been watching him closely over last few weeks. The kid can play when he gets a full game (been a sub for many games). Great clearance player, tackling machine and is very quick. Still a bit lanky but will continue to put on size with more preseasons. Out of all the trade targets we have had thus far (other than Houston), he is the one I’m most keen on - would be a huge addition to our midfield (for now and the future). 

Perfect target for us and one I’d prioritise over Houston - younger, cheaper and arguably fills a greater need 

Get it done Dees

Bump this thread. Tim Lamb … time to start your redemption!!!  Peatling would be an excellent addition.  Deserves a good 3-4 year contract at least.  His pace and run and tackling would add to our midfield.  


Its a shame he's not a Victorian. A local Western Sydney boy so if GWS are in fact upping their offer and can find a place for him in their best 22 then you would think he'll most likely stay.

It will be very interesting to see what happens now that GWS have players returning from injury, coming back to that midfield rotation. If he doesn't get much opportunity through the finals this might sway his decision making.

I can see him being their sub through the finals if they have a healthy list.

Lamb is going after him so maybe give it a rest?

You have skin in the game @Demon Time. I'm taking your recommendation seriously :-).

 

Used as sub 9 times

cant believe the Giants treat their players so poorly. No wonder they leave

*sarks

Peatling would be a great get for the club. In all the games I've seen him (not too many), he's shown speed and Viney-esque levels of intensity and desperation (IMO) amongst other qualities, but they both stood out and it's what we lack.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
